Watching, Nader Report Aims At Overhaul THE CINCINNATI ENQUIIER WS 600 GREENUP SI, COVINGTON, KY. PHONE 261-6666 Circulation, Advertising Information 721-2700 HE SAID that congressmen have indicated they are most interested in those recommendations and least interested in the profiles. Zwick told newsmen that more than 1000 persons took part in the researching and writing of the profiles. Planning for the project began in the summer of 1971, with district research beginning in February, 1972. Zwick said that Congress received feedback on the project as various stages were completed.

The last step will be the Individual congressman's review of the profile of him. He stressed that the prof lies do not rate members of Congress. "RATHER," Zwick said, "they provide relevant information to serve as a tool but only one of many tools for the concerned citizen to understand and measure members of Congress against standards that citizens believe are significant." Zwick said that writers and researchers for the projects were "average intelligent citizens" with writing ability and no political background, generallyln their mid-20s. Zwick said that the typical flow of Information around election time Is press released-generated by the congressmen's offices-which he said end up being used by the news media without much scrutiny. The profiles, he said, "do what the media do on a day4o-day basis but digging takes time." He characterized press reportings as "generally weak, because they face substantial handicaps.

"CONGRESS HAS so rigged the game," he said, that they've shut out the press as well as the public. Zwick said that he hopes publication of the prof lies will help to make the average citizen a "Congress watcher," and 6aid Congress Project workers would Depressing for a major "Congressional overhaul." "Congressional overhaul." "Declaring that the nation is approaching a "Constitutional crisis with respect to checks and balances," zwick said that the final stage in the Congress Project would be to issue reports on topics such as seniority and congressional rules, and to make recommendations for needed changes. aimed at informing voters and leading to the overhaul of Congress. Varying in length from 20 to 40 pages, the profiles provide information on each congressman's positions, his floor votes, votes in committee, legislative interests, supporters, ratings byinterest groups and personal data. CONGRESS Project staffers began on Wednesday distributing the profiles nationwide, with release embargoed until Sunday.

David Zwick, a project worker and co-author of "Who Runs Congress?" the first in a series of books proposing to examine how Congress works told a Louisville press conference that the profiles of congressmen are being held for release Sunday to give newsmen time to study the volume of material and to give congressmen a chance to reply. QWICK SAID stfliat members of Congress would be receiving copies of the profiles later this week. He said that the publication and distribution of the congressional profiles is directed both at the news media and the average citizen. "imffx irk iO By MARIA BRADEN Associated Press Writer LOUISVILLE Representatives of the Kentucky news media have been given copies of profiles of Kentucky congressmen, part of Ralph Nader's exhaustive examination of Congress.

Cooper Fixes Backing Of Nunn's Senate Race By RON SCHOOLMEESTER Enquirer Reporter The once-lucrative Bingo business in Covington turned into a dead duck at one minute after the stroke of midnight Thursday. Covington commissioners, complying with a U. S.

Spreme Court decision this week reaffirming that the games violate the state's constitutional prohibition of lotteries, unanimously rescinded a 1970 ordinance permitting bingo. Noting the high court's ruling, Mayor Bernard Grimm explained: "It (the bingo issue) has been taken out of our hands entirely. We Do Their Stuff high schools In four states will have no recourse but to rescind the ordinance." "A shame" is how Commissioner Carl Bowman expressed the situation. He cited legality of race track betting in the state, then asked rhetorically: "How can they say a little old ladies' bingo can hurt anybody?" SOME COMMISSIONERS wondered out loud whether the city might delay the rescinding action until receipt of the official mandate from the Supreme Court City Solicitor Donald Winter-sheimer and City Manager Paul Royster pointed out that the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case amounted to reaffirmation of a state appellate court decision, meaning that the games are as illegal now as they will be 30 days from now. Reason for establishing a deadline quickly, said Royster, is "to protect the integrity of our laws" and to give direction to the police department for enforcement purposes.

The motion for rescinding was offered "meekly" by Commissioner James Simpson and seconded "reluctantly" by Vice Mayor Bill Sageser.

I understand that the No. 2 man in the Ohio UKA organization has resigned and his resignation letter was a blistering attack on UKA national leadership.

The resignation letter said that he no longer could be associated "with the fraud, corruption and dictatorial policies" of the UKA national leadership. incidentally, for those who don't know, Robert Shelton is the national UKA leader.

The track had been enjoying a great year with betting and attendance way up but the crowds dropped down when they had to compete with the Reds' games on night television. Corwin Nixon, general manager of the track, said if the Reds are in the series next year and night games are played the track will close for those days.

Incidentally, the Nixon people deserve a "tip of the town's cap" for' the improvements they have made at the Lebanon track.

It was a quiet conclusion to a game whose operators reported receipts of more than $1.5 million during the past year. Only a small fraction of that amount about $82,000 filtered down to charity, although that was to be sole benefactor of the games. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board divided 3-2 on a vote to send Harry Patterson, director of planning and management, to an IBM government applications training session in Poughkeepsie, N. from October 30 through November 3. Commissioners Bowman and George Wermellng opposed.

Wermeling claimed the trip was an "unwholesome situation" in that Patterson, a contract rather than full-time employee, would take whatever knowledge he obtains from the' conference with him when his contract expires, and that attendance would give IBM an unfair advantage in bidding for a computer system which the city plans to establish. Other board members said, that the whole purpose of employing Patterson is to establish a comput-1 er system, and that they would not be influenced by IBM in awarding any bids. victory.

HOST CHARGED that Democratic Candidate George McGovern is the most liberal presidential, nominee ever, who stands for "am-' nesty, marijuana and busing, and there's no one who can tell me those things are right." How can Walter Huddleston and John Breckinridge (the respective; Democratic candidates for the U.S.

Senate and Sixth District House (seat) divorce themselves as Democrats from this philosophy? Host asked. This year's election gives the Republicans a chance to retaliate for last year's losses in the state, Host said, and a GOP landslide will start the party toward capturing and controlling elective offices at the state and local level. JACKSON, the Sixth District candidate, implied that his opponent, Breckinridge, doesn't think, much of schools, because he tried to stop the merger of Northern. Kentucky State College and Chase Law School when he was State attorney general, and because he criticized Nunn for sending National Guard troops to quell student1 disturbances at the University of Kentucky.

Marty Kehoe Page 54 By JACK HICKS Enquirer Kentucky Editor A voice from the Republicans' recent past warned Thursday that the future of the party and the nation could be periled by overcon-fidence. James Host, of Lexington, last year's GOP candidate for lieutenant governor, told a Campbell County Republican Club dinner at the Alexandria Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall that history teaches the lesson that campaigns can be lost no matter how favorable the preelection outlook.

SPEAKING in behalf of congressional candidates Laban Jackson and M. Gene Snyder, who were present, as wll as Senatorial Candidate Louie B. Nunn and President Nixon, who were not, Host pointed out that the same polls which show the President far ahead, also show many who favor him are not sure they will vote. On the other hand, he said, the polls Indicate that 95 of the McGovern followers will vote. If the percentages of those who will vote is accurate, "We've got a horse race," Host said.

The former state parks commissioner called for Republicans to work for an overwhelming GOP effective November 30. Jones has resigned effective October 31. He resides in the 600 block of York Street. BARNES HAS been off duty since July 1 because of illness. Jones suffered a major heart attack and has had other heart seizures in recent years.

Barnes worked for the veterans' administration in Ft. Thomas before joining the Newport police force. He is a Navy veteran of World War II, serving in the South Pacific theater of operation. Jones served on the county police force a year before becoming a Newport police officer. A THIRD VETERAN Newport police officer, Detective Chief Pat Clafardini, had disclosed plans last week to retire after 25 years on the force.

Chief Edward Gugel said, "It's a real blow to the department to lose such high ranking officers at once. It will be difficult to replace them." ASHLAND (iP) Sen. John Sherman Coopar said Thursday that he urged former Gov. Louie B. Nunn to become a candidate for the U.

S. Senate, and that he will spend the rest of the time between now and November 7 campaigning for Nunn. Cooper's announcement of his formal endorsement of Nunn came in a brief interview with a local newsman later Thursday afternoon. "AFTER 20 years I know a great deal about the interests of Kentucky all of its seaons and people and I know the work that needs to be done by your next senator," Cooper said. "I urged Louie Nunn to become a candidate." Nunn, a Republican, and his Democratic opponent, state Sen.

Walter (Dee) Huddleston are seeking the seat Cooper is vacating. COOPER SAID that he urged Nunn's candidacy "because I know he has the knowledge, the experience, the force and the ability to represent the interests of Kentucky people. "I trust him, I believe in him." The retiring senator said that he wanted to assure that a statement attributed to him by the Huddles-ton campaign forces is not mistaken by anyone as a recent statement.

Rick Clements, Boone County's director of parks and recreation, said the acreage at Limaburg Road and the relocated Youell Road is being leased for $1 a year. "We can't put any permanent structures on the land," Clements said, "but we'll probably put two or three baseball fields or one or two footballs fields on it." He said that there's a need for ball fields In the area. million which company president H. M.

Redman quoted as the cost of the property in a letter last August 1 to the Miami Purchase Association, a local group dedicated to the preservation of historic buildings. The terminal, completed In 1933, will echo to the cry "all aboard" for the last time at 11:05 p. m. Saturday, October 28, when Amtrak's George Washington leaves for Newport News, and Washington. Starting October 29, Cincinnati's two daily passenger trains, the George Washington and the James Whitcomb Riley to Chicago, will depart from Amtrak's new mini-terminal at River Road and Evans Street.

And the end of passenger service at Union Terminal has led to a move by some civic leaders, artists and historians to preserve the station, which they say Is one of the finest examples in America of Art Deco architecture. Thursday's meeting, called by Stevens with the approval of Mayor Thomas A. Luken, was an attempt to co-ordinate efforts to "save the terminal." But, despite the Terminal offer to sell, Stevens said the city is not interested in buying what he $10 Million Price Tag Placed On Cincinnati Union Terminal Two top echelon Newport police officers will retire soon for reasons of health. They are shift captain Donald Barnes, 47, and Detective Capt. Kenneth (Moose) Jones, 46.

Both have been members of the police department for 21 years. Barnes has been a shift captain 10 years, Jones a detective captain for years. BOTH WILL retire under the Kentucky Heart and Lung Disability Act established four years ago by the state legislature. Barnes, who resides at 62 18th Newport, said that he plans to submit his retirement papers within a week, asking they become termed "another deficit facility," which would, he added, "incur losses to the taxpayers." "I look at it as better to have some business use of the property instead of a public use," Stevens added. The city planner warned, however, that unless some action is taken soon, the building may not be around long.

"The Union Terminal as a corporation isn't interested in saving the building; they're interested in liquidating," he said. Stevens announced that the Union Terminal real estate committee will be in town next Thursday and will meet with anyone interested in saving the station. With this in mind, the participants at Thursday 's meeting agreed to tell' terminal officials that many Clncinnatians are interested in preserving the station and to ask the company what its next moves will be. Present at the meeting were representatives of the City Planning Commission, the Miami Purchase Association, the Queen City Association and the Cincinnati School Board. Another meeting of those interested in saving the ter- minal will be held 4:45 p.m.

School Board Faces Parent, Union 'Quiz' By BOB FRESCO Enquirer Reporter A representative of the Union Terminal Co. has told Cincinnati's director of city planning that the company wants to sell the old station and its 285 acre property for $10 million. The announcement was made by city planning director Herbert W. Stevens at a City Hall meeting Thursday afternoon to discuss the 39-year-old station's future.

Stevens said the company's intentions were made known to him in a recent meeting with terminal manager George S. Grey.

Mrs.

Phyllis Uebel, who formed a parents group concerned about lack of lunches in several schools, asked Supt. Bert Bennett what progress had been made. BENNETT explained that now seven of the district's 13 schools are without lunch facilities, but this will be reduced to four by the fall of 1973. When the new Latonia Elementary School opens next fall, it will consolidate Eighth and Tenth district schools. The school system also plans to abandon Fifth District School by next fall, and these students will attend schools with cafeterias, Bennett added.

Thus three schools without lunch facilities will be eliminated. He said that a pilot project is planned in which a "satellite" kitchen in one school would send food to another without a kitchen, hopefully to begin sometime this year. IN THE continuing conflict, Keith Foulkes, of the International Brotherhood of Firemen and Oilers, exchanged angry words with the board about their refusal last month to recognize the union. Assistant Supt. Leroy Draud told the board that an elected representative of the maintenance workers told administrators that they were not interested in the union, but Foulke said no.

The union man charged that teachers in the Covington system were being paid $3 per hour for maintenance work while regular employees received $1.80 for the same work. Bennett denied that teachers were scrubbing floors, but said industrial arts and science teachers were also hired to refinish desks, do concrete work and other such jobs..
